After a painful breakup, Clementine (Kate Winslet) undergoes a procedure to erase memories of her former boyfriend Joel (Jim Carrey) from her mind. When Joel discovers that Clementine is going to extremes to forget their relationship, he undergoes the same procedure and slowly begins to forget the woman that he loved. As they relive their tangled relationship in Joel's dreams, he begins to question if this is truly the resolution that he wants. Directed by Michel Gondry (Be Kind Rewind) and written by Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich), the visually arresting film explores the intricacy of relationships and the pain of loss, delivered with equal measures of sight gags and gut punches.
